WHY ARE YOU WANKING? I expect more from you.

Mmmmm, blubber.
actually, I brought up "whale". He asserted that she is not skinny. All 95 pounds of her. he never said lolipop or not (until in a later backpedaling post).

How is it possible that this could be more interesting than our current topic of conversation? Oh. Yeah. Right.

Mormonophobia

A looooooong time ago, I went apartment shopping with my then-boyfriend. There was one lovely residence, but it had absolutey nothing on the walls. My boyfriend said, "These people must be Mormons" and I remember thinking, "WTF? Why does he think that?". I mean, this guy (my then-boyfriend) is a dyed-in-the-wool jewboy (went to Yeshiva, etc.), so I just thought it was some weird stereotype; however, sure enough, when we walked through the bedroom, on the bedside table was The Book of Mormon. I was the recipient of a self-satisfied smirk, and I never questioned him again (now you know why I couldn't possibly have married him).

I still don't quite know why "nothing on the walls" is a Mormon giveaway, but, there it is.

I should ask my in-laws (my husband has some cousins who converted -- the Mormons probably didn't have much objection to their joining, as they already had the 5 kids). Of course, I guess all religions (except Judaism) don't really object when someone wants to join the fold.

OK, enough rambling.

For now.

Thanks, thought I think it was clear that I forgave you for breaking me.

Jesus no. Before seeing my photo he said she was not skinny. So I posted the photo, so he posted another, earlier photo. Leading to the lack-of-reading-comprehension bitchslap.

Poll: what's in your firm's kitchen?

As a former Econ major, I disagree. I've signed a three-year employment contract at a wage that is below what the market currently pays lawyers of my experience and skill level. Even without the employment contract, I think one could say that I'm being paid a salary below the prevailing market price and below what I could easily get by switching jobs, but I choose to remain for non-monetary reasons (to gain experience in this field, to take advantage of the quality day-care in the future, distaste for billing hours, etc.). One can summarize this as saying that I'm accepting a wage below that which I could get on the open market, in other words, that I'm being paid below market value.

Don't project your dl lifestyle on me son. As a point of fact, there was a picture of mr. Cans on the ceiling, so she could be reminded of how much better the then current loving was.

I agree that non-dairy creamer is vile, but my money is on its having been invented by a tribal member, so that other MOTs could enjoy an after-dinner coffee with "milk". (Only applies if you had meat at dinner, but YKWIM.)

Obviously, the only conclusion to be drawn here is that you are a Jew-hater.

For shame, Sidd. For shame.

Perhaps sweetie, but unlike the normally unceremonious kicking to the curb you get, I got a nice severance package for my package.

Obviously they do not know how to teach econ at your school, if you think it is all about the monetary crap and that the gain experience/quality day care/lower hours does not factor into the wage.

GOD YOU ARE A MORON.

I am definitely chastising the next Yale econ professor I meet.

A true man would have put the picture on the headboard so that she could see it during the lovemaking. Mr. Missionary.

I think you went from talking about work to describing your last date.

"severance . . . of my package." if that's nice, you truly are the bottom you seem.

You should really try to get there some time. It's spectacularly beautiful; the prettiest state of the lower 48. May I suggest a hiking vacation to Moab? Golf in St. George's? Mountain biking at Zion? Skiing at Alta or Snowbird? Movies and networking in Park City?
